this rental has a traditional Fire Island outdoorshower (it is an enclosure with a door which you can close so you may shower in privacy) and of corse, it has running hot water. The outdoor shower is shared with two permanent house members but we usually work on the weekend so we rarely run into eaach other.

Air conditioners - not properly sealed - allowed mosquitoes to easily come in. When we arrived, we found a praying mantis and we gently rescued it and placed it outside. We all constantly reapplied bugspray - we all got numerous bites in the room. We had no problems with bug bites when we were walking all around Fire Island itself - only when we were in the room. When we told Martha about this - she commented that bugs are a normal part of Fire Island and blamed us for keeping the doors open. The doors were only open for us to enter and exit and not otherwise kept open. I dont think any reasonable person would expect to reapply bugspray and tolerate all of those mosquitoes in a hotel room setting. Cleanliness was a real issue - there were dead bug smears across the walls in multiple spots. We spotted cobwebs and dust on the ceiling fan and walls. When we pointed out the dust on the ceiling fan - she responded that weren't supposed to be using it and that our standards for cleanliness must be very high. Again, I think that a reasonable person would walk into any hotel / motel room and expect to be able to use a ceiling fan that is one of the 2 light sources in a room, not expect to find cobwebs or stains on the walls. When turned on, the ceiling fan did not seem to be properly installed and operated precariously as if it would fall off from the ceiling. The rugs weren't vacuumed - we saw debris that was not from us - for example, there was rice on the floor that we did not eat during our stay. People coming and out - no blind or shades. The listing told us there was a roommate. When we arrived, she told us there would be other people who worked for her coming around the house. But we had no idea who belonged and who didn't. The room was on the first floor - the bathroom was too small to change - many of us changed in the room itself. It overall made us feel a bit uncomfortable - if she has so many people coming in and out, she should offer her guests (as we are on the first floor) privacy by way of blinds or shades. She asked us for feedback but was very defensive, combative, and unwilling to hear us out on our points. We were hoping to be productive and helpful. Ultimately, there is indeed a low supply and a high demand for Fire Island in the summer. At the same time, it is unreasonable for a place to be rented out where simple things could have been done to make our stay more acceptable: - get rid of spider webs - seal the AC's properly - install blinds so that the there is more privacy - the listing disclosed roommates and not people coming...

The description of the room is very accurate. It is a large room with it's own bathroom and a large fridge, and a separate entrence. There was a small separation in the room which allowed me to be a little set off from my son and his friends. We used the grill each night to make dinner and eat on the deck, and never saw anybody else. Martha was very pleasant and accommodating. The location was great, close to the beach and the small town. I would definitely stay there again, just be aware of what you are renting, it is a part of someone's house. That said, I had no problem with privacy.

DO NOT RENT HERE!! I have been renting on Fire Island for the last 4 years and Martha was undoubtedly the most irrational host I have ever dealt with. Fire Island is a very go with the flow , laid back community and this house and host were not that by any means. Martha seems very accommodating at first but it is clear she has been burned in the past and she took all of her aggression from previous experiences out on us. My friends and I had a small BBQ with 6 people on the back deck. Martha threatened to kick us out of the home and proceeded to take pictures of us from the neighbors deck. This is not a welcoming or comforting environment. If you want a great experience on fire island, which really is not hard to come by , do not consider this place.

So to start this off I just want to say that I would probably stay here again, and this place was pretty much on par with the area. Ocean bay park is super laid back like all the stores are kind of make shift but very friendly. Martha's place fit right in, it's not really an "entire place" it's more like a private room although you do have your own private entrance. Martha's place is connected to the room by a door so you can hear each other but she didn't come through the door after check in except for one time to get a spare AC unit that was in there while we were out. Sheets seemed clean, she owns her own laundromat it seemed like. There's a fridge in the room that had a lot of food from previous guests in it, and there's a shelf of toiletries previous guests left. There was a big cobweb in the corner where one of the bunk beds is and the bathroom had an odor. There was no toilet paper available, plenty of towels. The outdoor shower also has some toiletries left behind and could use a power wash. When we arrived there were other guests in the top floor room and they had left their bathing suits laying around everywhere on the porch. There's also a washing machine and fridge sitting in the yard. Like I said, I would stay here again, it was fine for a bumming it beach weekend. Just saying all these things so the next guests know what to expect. The one complaint I did have though and I hope Martha will consider this for future guests is she didn't give me the wifi info until our last morning so I used a lot of data and the service on the island is horrible. But Martha is very nice and friendly, overall good experience.

i stayed her for my cousins bachelorette trip to fire island. martha was so friendly and communicative. she was very flexible with the check in and check out time. we showed up really late on rainy night and she came by as soon as our ferry docked w a golf cart. the area is so beautiful and everyone is very friendly. its just a great beach town and was perfect for a relaxing in the sun and enjoying the ocean. theres a couple of good local spots. the walk to the ocean beach party area is around half a mile, my group walked it, but we also found that you can take water taxis up until around 2am

We came to Fire Island for a girls weekend and took the ferry into Ocean Beach where it says the house is located and ended up walking 25 minutes lugging our belongings to the house. Once we arrived we struggled to get in touch with Martha. We were brought to our room that had 7 beds, and a half bath. The listing says it is a private room but it was definitely lacking privacy. The shower was outside and shared with the whole house. The bedroom had 14 windows with no blinds( there was often people walking past the room). The place was definitely over priced.

I wasn't able to visit the place myself due to a last minute change, but my friends who went liked it and found it adorable. Martha had been extremely nice and friendly, and she was flexible about the fact that I wasn't there myself. They particularly liked the patio and the outdoors shower (though we didn't know in advance that it was the only one available).
